    Raising metal is about more than just bending the metal. The type of
    hammer, the type of stroke  and the angle of the stake control
    whether the metal is thickened, thinned, or bent. The  thickness of
    the metal is also important and greatly affects whether the the
    smith wants to sink or raise. I recommend "Silversmithing" by
    Rinegold and Seitz for descriptions and directions.
